Chapter 323 The Devil Reappears
"..."
"..." Leonard and Peiman both looked at the "young master" with a fool's eyes. Is this guy crazy? Who would join such an organization? This is not just being hunted by Rune, but by the whole world!
"What a noble goal. Let's think about it..." Leonard said casually, suppressing his embarrassment.
"So, if we think it through later, where should we go to find you? Or where should we send a letter?"
Holy Wind Cathedral and Saint Samuel Church are both fine... Klein really wanted to say this, because it would definitely be very cool! But he still said normally:
"You can go to the house on the corner of this street and write a note or send a letter, and someone will see it.
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity...if you miss it, there might not be a next time, that's it."
After saying that, Klein indicated that he was fine. He watched the two of them leave, and then Sharon suddenly appeared beside him. She said calmly:
“They both had disguises on their faces, very professional disguises.
"That man showed obvious malice and hatred when you used the Nightmare trait.
"When handing over the formula, they also showed reluctance. I guess they must have contact with the authorities..."
Klein sighed. Any Nighthawk would be angry if they saw their predecessors being transformed into Beyonder traits and being sold. Leonard has been much more restrained. In the past, he would have drawn his gun and started a fight...
"Hatred, anger, fear, and desire, these emotions are all nutrients that motivate people to move forward," Klein said nonsense.
"Think about it carefully. You, too, have 'hatred'... but you just restrain it enough so that people can't see it.
"Our organization has never cared about the background of its members, just like you, just like them."
Sharon glanced at Klein, then disappeared like a shadow.
……
The next day, September 9th, was Wednesday morning.
"Old man, there's more work. Two followers of Storm were brutally murdered yesterday... Go and find out as soon as possible. Well, it's the same as always. Whichever person in the training ground you want, I'll give you my opinion. How about that? Isn't that good enough? Others don't have that much face!" Roy Wellington said to the old man curled up on the sofa in the office.
"..." Old Blue rolled his dead eyes and said weakly:
"You are exploiting retired employees! I thought about the 'Extraordinary Party in Tingen', but I'm not even in Tingen, what kind of party is this? Isn't this just a blank promise?
"Let's do the math. Since I came back, I was the one who killed the 'demon dog', right? I was the one who led the excavation of Amon's Tomb, right? I don't need to tell you how valuable the 'ghost frame' is, right? If it wasn't me, it would have been taken away by Hei Ye!
"Also, I have already given the '100 Pound Newspaper' to Fors to prepare. It is still unknown when it will be launched. Anyway, I am very busy! Busy with important matters! Always loyal to Storm! You can't use someone to death!"
Roy was not panicked at all. He threw the file in his hand and said:
“The demon dog is gone, but there seems to be a person behind it, a ‘demon’…
"Two detectives who helped investigate the Sivella field were killed. It was said that they had received 'threatening letters' before that...
"And there are more than a dozen people in that detective team. They have all received such letters one after another. Now they are in a panic and asked for help from the Sivellas Field, and then they handed it over to us..." "This case is obviously a follow-up to the 'Devil Dog' incident. It's okay for me to hand it over to you now, right? Isn't it normal that the application for the 'Extraordinary Gathering' is not approved until the case is closed?" Roy said sincerely, as if it was a matter of course:
"This time! Well, this time the case is completely over, you can have a party! How about that? I'll keep my word and I won't break it!"
Old Blue is helpless. He has to check himself every time, and he will get tired of it!
He stood up, took the document, and returned to the sofa, with his right leg resting on his left leg, and casually read:
"A total of eighteen people received the 'threatening letter', five of whom were Storm followers, and two of them died...
"Damn, I've long said that there might be extraordinary people among those detectives. They can be recruited to serve as substitute punishers or informants! Now there are two less!
"Who are the remaining believers? Sherlock Holmes, Watson... I'm going to recruit people, do you have any objection?"
"Do whatever you want. It's all under the jurisdiction of your training ground anyway..." Roy said with a satisfied smile.
"I see. Anyway, it's Xio's training ground manager..." Old Blue also smiled.
……
Peiman and Leonard just walked out of the police station, still holding the threatening letter in their hands. The police didn't take it away just because... the police station has already received a lot of letters!
Only then did they realize that the "devil dog" incident was not over at all, and the past two days were not as peaceful as they had imagined! Several detectives received "threatening letters" one after another, and the first two who received the letters were already dead!
Then the other detectives began to panic and started rushing to the Sivellaus Field that they had previously avoided since yesterday!
It was not until the morning that they discovered the letter on the table and saw the malicious shadow on the street through the open window!
"What bad luck! What bad luck!" Peiman wanted to tear the letter into pieces, and regretted:
"Who would have thought that a 'coldblooded man' would value his dog so much! John Wick? Killing your dog is going to start 'John Wick'? You got the wrong character, right?
"If you hadn't been promoted to Nightmare, we might have been attacked this morning...
"We weren't the ones who killed the dog! Let's go find the real culprit! Damn it!"
Leonard held Peiman's left hand. He could clearly feel her fear, which was her instinctive reaction after her shelter, her sanctuary, her "home" was quietly invaded...
He walked with Peiman in silence, and asked in his heart:
"Old man, who was the owner of the demon dog last night? Did you find him? Why didn't you keep him?"
[“I am an old and weak man, and I have to block my perception at night to prevent you from having mental disorders... You still want me to help you keep watch? Aren’t you a ‘nightmare’? Why do you sleep so long at night? And... aren’t you still alive and well now? Isn’t that enough?”]
"..." Leonard was speechless. The old man could control the power of "time" and he also knew such a powerful woman who could travel through the spirit world... Hey, maybe he has his own difficulties...
Leonard breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, held Peiman's shoulders, and said solemnly:
"Don't worry, I'm here, I won't let him hurt you.
"Come home. I don't have to sleep at night. I will watch over you. I promise."
